Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.5258] [Kompas Productions]

[PayneToTheMax]

i'm not sure how these wallpapers are supposed to improve the existing stories. i mean they are nice and all but all that work for one scene seems kinda pointless to me. would have him much rather work on rhonda and annie storyline art so that once the tech update is finished and coding/posing work on rhonda is beginning all the art for it is already done. i get it though that he seems much more concerned about keeping the gravy train rolling so these wallpapers are a perfect fit for that. once the tech update is out he can work on rhonda for 5 months which will be a cool half a million dollars

I get him wanting to enhance the stories artwise. Like most Japanese VNs feature introductory shots of the girls, and many of the wallpapers seem to be that. Even Rhonda's ass shot is looking to be that, because it's probably what MC is going to see first when the coach tells him to get his ass on the track field.

Just in case you are interested, I found a screenshot from 15th of december 2022:

At least Art and Writing seem to be done since then, but no progress for Posing.

lmao, 4 months and it moved 2%

Yeah, I think by now we are still missing Roxxy, Judith and Annie at school and Jenny in the bathroom. Thought I have to admit that I'd love to see one for Missy and Becca, too.

Why will he work in the Rhonda update if the rest of the team is behind of schedule?
Is not going to speed things up.

Quit being logical and let the man bitch!

It has always been the case, that DC started drawing content for the next update, once he finished the art for the one that's currently in development. It's not like he'll will start coding or posing to help out.

He started working on Ronda's house including all of the rooms, all of the character sprites and some story content (I recall Jacky's introudction or Earl getting hit by a door while walking the hallway) quite a while ago, so we don't know how much is actually done. I'm not actually sure how much is left to draw on stream without heavy spoilers...

Then again, right now isn't a bad time to add/change all these other details, like those cutscenes we see now. Those who still like the game probably won't mind to see that kind of content, while those who got lost along the way probably won't be satisfied anyway. So you might aswell just get it done and start to focus again once all of this tech stuff is over.

is the incest back yet?

If it moves 1 percent every month without any delays we should it get the update at 2025 but there will be delays, so end of 2025 is more likely.

If you do follow DC's daily stream, you will know that the art progress bar 100% is not true.
He haven't drawn some location yet.
According to the post he claimed, let's check them one by one then.

" Lighthouse(finished),
Rhonda's house(finished),
Judith's house(house interior, rooms, bathroom not yet),
Missy's house(house interior, rooms, bathroom not yet),
Stadium(no interior yet),
Bowling & Arcade(probably not finished yet),
Museum(no interior yet),
Woods Cabin(not sure he finished it or not), etc. "

so he still got lots of location to draw ,
and DC is currently drawing coffee shop in Hillside Mall 1st floor (for widescreen expension).
I think he will add tons of art or location to wait for posting & coding team to catch up the progress.

I think the progress bar is only pointing to the tech update relevant art. Do any of those locations currently have content? If not, I don't imagine they are critical to the release of the tech update.

I genuinely don't know if this game will ever be in a "somewhat completed state" if this pace continues, or are we setting ourselves for the eventual predictable disappointment...

It is what it is though. I can't wait to play this game with my ancestors.

Well, regarding earnings on Patreon (on the NSFW category), DC is positioned on the 3rd place ($61,556 Per month, 26,703 Patrons)

The number 1 is Adeptus Steve ($109,170 Per month, 12,470 Patrons)

If we're talking about support, DC is steadily losing Patreon support, Kompass Productions (the actual name of the Developer team that DC created) peaked on Oct 29, 2021, with 32,088 patrons and net gross income of the not to scoff at sum of $80,923, from there it has been a slow but steady outflow of supporters and a money

Off-topic and cherry picking of data, but...

DC is still #1 subscriber-wise. As he has been for over 5 years and will be for quite awhile - even as the number of subscribers peel off their donations (oh, the horror ) during the long wait. DC still has more subscribers and higher income than he did at the start of the COVID pandemic when he had already exploded past all his $$ goals on Patreon. He is still more than double his top goal for hiring the staff he has on board at this time.



Money-wise DC has been behind Adeptus Steve and Heat for awhile because those other two developers have higher subscriber tiers ($1, $10, $25, $50, $100 and $2, $10, $20, $50) compared to DC ($1, $5, $10, $20) even with them having half or less the number of subscribers. Perhaps everyone whinging about the other two should go into their threads and mount a protest about how they are scamming their fans with such high tiers... wait, no? Ok.

If if were not for the subscribers - Summertime Saga would still be back around v0.12 or v0.13 and releases would be slower with even less content.

Why a bunch of so-called pirate adult game players are so fucking worried about how much or how little a developer brings in with donations for a game the developer provides to everyone for free within a couple of days of release is unfathomable unless you consider the level of entitlement and jealousy that these whingers must have to be so concerned with the flaccidness of their cock along with the sveltness of their wallet.

I'll now wait for my post to get deleted by a mod as being an off-topic reply to an off-topic whinge.

But remember, that's his mom!

Acktuallyyyyyyyy... not since 2018.
